Receiver Customization
Using Dolby® Surround Sound
1Connect an external Dolby Digital decoder to the receiver's back panel Digital Audio Output using an optical cable (available at consumer electronics stores).
2Press MENU, select System Setup (6), and then Dolby Digital (8) to open the Dolby Digital screen.
3Select one of the following optical output options:
•Dolby Digital Only - Select this option if the stereo system or amplifier can decode only Dolby Digital and will not process Linear PCM signals. See your amplifier's owner's manual for more details on the amplifier (and see the following table).
•PCM Only - Select this option only if the stereo system or amplifier cannot decode Dolby Digital signals.
•Dolby Digital/PCM - Select this option only if the stereo system or amplifier can decode both Dolby Digital and Linear PCM signals.
The audio output is also dependent on what is present in the program you are watching. The table below shows what type of output you will hear:

Note: When both audio signals are present in the program, the receiver defaults to Dolby Digital output unless you have selected PCM Only.
Note: If you have selected Dolby Digital Only but there is only PCM audio in the program, you will hear nothing. This also applies to the analog audio outputs.
